MAC Marilyn Monroe Makeup Collection

The long-waited Marilyn Monroe makeup collection by MAC is finally unveiled! Here are the first promotional images and first information about the most expected MAC collection of the year!

The Marilyn Monroe makeup collection was announced in February this year, and it immediately created a huge buzz among the beauty bloggers. Everyone was anxious to see the shades, the colors and the packaging MAC will come out with... My first impression is that the package looks a bit cheap, and it definitely isn't not even close to what I expected it to be. I have been hoping for vintage-inspired, perhaps even gold-plated sexy compacts, but MAC came out with this generic print of Marylin Monroe that actually looks very cheap on black plastic... What's good is that shades and textures are actually pretty nice. Take a look:
